Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

The multitude of slashes in an instant, even the hardest shell could not withstand.

As the Terror Armor overlord’s flesh was torn apart by the lightsaber, it felt no pain but was shocked to sense the enemy’s state—

Its full-force strike, had not even cut a single hair from the opponent’s head?

It had no effect at all?

No, the enemy’s aura, after enduring the attack, suddenly increased significantly, as if it had grown much stronger.

How could this be possible!

This 8th Rank Terror Armor overlord, in confusion and despair, rapidly met its end.

[Killing the Void Terror Beetle, obtained Mythical Material: Terror Armor Essence*10.]

[Killing the Void Terror Beetle, obtained Epic Module: Void Shock (Supercharged).]

[Killing the Void Terror Beetle, obtained Mythical Item: Attribute Enhancement.]

Indeed, an 8th Rank Void overlord can stably produce Attribute Enhancement items!

This burst rate is clearly the result of the bonus from the Rank Upgrade Trial—

Even after completing the Rank Upgrade mission, Jiang Chen was still a 3rd Rank mecha pilot, defeating an 8th Rank overlord beyond his rank, the difficulty matching the rewards, naturally he could drop extraordinarily good items.

If he were to leave the Rank Upgrade Trial, without the corresponding bonus,

Even if Jiang Chen returned to the Void Dimension, killing the same Void overlord,

It would be impossible to drop items of this caliber.

“I must take advantage of this and farm a few more.”

“Not just Yun’s time, Zero’s life, Yuu’s death, all of these attributes are important…”

Jiang Chen brought out his tools while collecting the remains of the Terror Armor overlord.

At the same time, he immersed his mind within himself.

The Terror Armor overlord’s attack just now seemed to have failed to penetrate his defense.

It wasn’t because his space resistance was high, or his defenses were sufficient.

It was because Zero inside him had released the [Life Force Protection] module, transferring the damage to the primeval mecha within him.

The primeval mecha was only 3rd Rank and couldn’t withstand the damage at all, directly expanded armor and fell unconscious.

The excess damage that remained exploded within him, completely absorbed by a temporary life force.

It looked as though he was unharmed.

“It’s a pity, if the overflow damage just disappeared without being absorbed by me, that would be equivalent to being invincible once.”

Jiang Chen felt somewhat regretful.

However, since the primeval mecha was completely damaged, he also took the opportunity to sense the repair time for the mecha.

It had extended from the original half-hour to one hour.

Compared to the attributes after the mecha Rank Upgrade, the growth efficiency had greatly increased.

At that moment,

Vitaz’s voice rose up from the depths of his heart.

[Your… your life force, it’s become stronger?!]

“Didn’t I tell you? Once you shatter and fall asleep, I can absorb your power and grow permanently.”

[…]

You did say these things.

But who knew the growth would be so exaggerated!

Vitaz had completely bonded with Jiang Chen and achieved symbiosis.

She could clearly feel Zero’s actual life strength and the increase in Jiang Chen’s life strength after Zero’s collapse and sleep…

It wasn’t one ten-thousandth, nor one thousandth.

But fivefold!

Expanded armor once, fivefold absorption?

Doesn’t this mean…

[If I fully release my seal, returning to my prime state.]

[Just one absorption from you, and you could gain five times the growth of my prime state?]

[I can share two and a half times the growth?]

“To be exact, it’s seven times.”

“The higher the quality, the higher the increase in growth rate.”

Vitaz, now a bonded mecha, would naturally know these details once Mecha Talent was triggered.

Jiang Chen had nothing to conceal.

After listening to his explanation, she went silent for a moment.

The drowsiness that had lasted for who knows how many tens of thousands of years suddenly dissipated.

At this moment, she was brimming with energy.

[Master, I want to expand armor!]

[Blow me up now!]

“6.”

…

Vitaz, once a Legendary Overlord, knew all too well the difficulty of growth.

She didn’t know how many tens of thousands of years it took for her to evolve from a weak Void spirit to her current state.

Now to be told that she could simply sleep for a while, and her attributes would multiply by several times.

Was there really such a good thing?

She was determined to sleep until she exploded!

Therefore, Vitaz was even more utilitarian than Jiang Chen, demanding on the spot to be blown up and absorbed, wishing she could be growing every moment.

Conveniently, Jiang Chen no longer needed Vitaz’s help—

He had previously operated the Void Wraith Mecha Armor to get close to the Void Legion.

But then, the Terror Armor overlord guessed Vitaz’s condition at a glance, immediately fled to save its life, almost backfiring on Jiang Chen’s plans.

Jiang Chen might as well just reveal himself openly!

His basic Life Force was only around 160 million, which was the entry level for a 7th Rank.

This would allow 8th Rank and 9th Rank overlords to let down their guard, giving him the opportunity to get close.

Thus, Jiang Chen satisfied Vitaz’s request—

She was now only a 3rd Rank Mecha, easy to shatter.

After absorbing Vitaz’s power,

Jiang Chen’s overall attributes surged by 10.5 million, reaching around 170 million.

Vitaz’s repair time was two and a half hours.

If she maximized her growth efficiency, she could provide Jiang Chen with 100 million total attributes every 24 hours, just counting her as one mecha!

“Considering Vitaz’s character of sleeping for tens of thousands of years…”

“Now she truly is growing every minute and second, setting small targets day by day.”

After Jiang Chen sighed, he didn’t let Zero, Yun, and Yuu follow Vitaz’s example and grow at full efficiency—

Once attributes reached a certain value, the efficiency of growth actually tended to decrease.

At that point, the bonus from special talents and top-quality modules was more practical than a certain degree of attribute increase.

Like Legendary Traits and Legendary Talents.

Obtaining just one could be worth several times the attribute growth!

Hence, Zero, Yun, and Yuu should prioritize nurturing their mecha souls to acquire Mecha Talents.

For basic growth, currently having Vitaz was sufficient.

Jiang Chen then returned with the other three Mecha to the Terror Armor Legion.

The Terror Armor overlord fled so quickly that it didn’t even have time to notify the other overlords.

Also, the Terror Armor Legion was invading nine worlds at once, and the Void overlords were busy preparing for battles, or had already passed through the Rifts, leaving the Void Dimension.

So, Jiang Chen acquired plenty of harvest opportunities.

He first activated the spatial anchoring device to seal off this shattered region, making sure these Void overlords couldn’t run if the battle turned against them.

Then, he arranged for the three Mecha to fight against 7th Rank Void overlords.

He used these 7th Rank overlords as whetstones to sharpen the Mecha, allowing them to grow in battle.

As for the abyssal monsters below 7th Rank, they were too weak and not up to the mark.

Just clear them out and be done with it.

Jiang Chen didn’t even bother killing the 2nd and 3rd Rank Amethyst Beetles—

Void creatures were inherently special. Even if they died, their essence would be absorbed by the legion furnace, recycled and reborn.

Higher-ranking Void creatures needed to grow again, slowly honing their strength.

These lower-ranking critters were specially designed to be expendable, almost capable of being produced endlessly. There was no point in killing too many.

Moreover, even if they were alive, they couldn’t do much.

Since different legions were far apart, it took Jiang Chen nearly half a day to get here. Considering how long it would take for these critters to pass a message to other legions, it could be years.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen crossed through a Void Rift to visit the opposite world.

Out of the nine worlds invaded by the Terror Armor Legion, seven had been completely destroyed, reduced to scorched earth.

In the ruins, countless abyssal creatures were engaged in material dismantling and essence refining.

Like the teeth of the Void, they were gradually chewing and swallowing the material world, incorporating it into the Void.

The remaining two worlds were luckier, with their rifts not fully open, still resisting the invasion.

Jiang Chen helped them clear out the Void creatures, had a brief exchange with them, and finally, closed the Void Rifts.

When the Void Rifts leading to these worlds were completely closed,

The essence of the Abyss Runes spilled out, forming words before Jiang Chen.

[By closing the Void Rifts and protecting the Seeds of Civilization, an extra condition has been met: the number of uses for Light of Hope +2.]
